BoingBoing reports that Coldplay’s new CD comes chock full of DRM restrictions that prevent the CD from being burned to a hard drive and “might” prevent it from being played in DVD players, car stereos, portable players, game players or computers.
The questions are:
1) Is this something done with the band’s knowledge and consent or is this just more RIAA madness?
2) What will the band’s reaction be now that the story is all over the net?
Sony learned some hard lessons lately about DRM and the unwillingness of customers to accept crippled product. Looks like DRM 201 is about to begin.
